Block all emails from everyone except Hotmail contacts

Block all Hotmail emails except from contacts and safe senders A little known Windows Live Hotmail feature allows you to truly take control of your inbox and the email messages that reach it, but letting only authorized senders (Hotmail contacts and Hotmail safe senders) to get through to the most important email folder of your Hotmail account. This setting requires some explaining, since it will imply taking some precautions to ensure that legitimate correspondence does reach you, and in a timely manner. You can configure this option very easily, and turn it back off at any time; anyone using a Windows Live Hotmail email account for business may find it an expedient way to quickly get to customers' emails, for example, as priority (keeping in mind that prospects aren't yet in your address book!)

Only allow contacts and safe senders to your Hotmail inbox

Here are the simple steps to follow to make your inbox as spam-proof as it can get:

Hotmail Tip: as mentioned earlier, this option stays on and enabled once you have configured it - if you decide later on that you do want to let all emails through once more (and restore the default Hotmail inbox settings), just follow the steps outlined above, choose the "Standard" inbox option this time, and click "Save".
